Overrated? Bryant was 5th in the NL in win probability added, and only twelve hitters in the NL had a higher slugging pct than Bryant did in his rookie season. He tied Andrew McCutchen at .488, and McCutchen was 5th in the NL MVP vote. A 5.9 WAR as a rookie is outstanding. And while he needs to bring his strikeouts down, he walked 77 times. Only nine guys in the NL walked more. For a guy with his power potential to put up a .369 OBP as a rookie is a real positive sign.

There's no way I could say that Kris Bryant is overrated. He more than held his own at the Major League level. We'll see where he goes from here.
